Zed. Same as Bruce Willis in Pulp Fiction: "Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead".

You could also try reading enough of them to learn how to spell Discworld.

I'm Irish and believe it or not it was quite common in Ireland up till about 50 years ago for black dogs to be called ******. Go figure. I guess they didn't realise it was an offensive term...........or maybe they just didn't think about it.

If you like Lovecraft check out the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company - they do audio plays-for-radio-type versions of his novels which are fantastic. They released "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" as a podcast. Check it out http://artcpodcast.org/index.php?post_year=2007&post_month=10 - its...

He's just trolling. Trolling quite successfully too since there are 123 posts over 4 pages at time of writing this. Ignore him and he'll get bored and go away.

Are you seriously telling me you'd be happy in your good job earning the exact same as someone who has a job that doesn't involve a lot of hard work? I'm well educated and I work bloody hard and I've gotten pissed off in the past when I discovered I was being paid the same as some well educated...

Well, I'm a cynical bastard so I'd guess it is because you don't commit crime or get involved in dole fraud. Ok I'm in Ireland and don't know the nitty gritty details of the welfare system in the UK, but I believe the two countries are broadly the same. I am open to correction on the UK...

Metroid Prime 2. Too much damned purple! I've played the original through a couple of times but don't have the interest to complete the second. Prey too. I'm halfway through the game and was enjoying it enough but it doesn't have the hook to drag me back to it.

You will see benefit from them. Who do you think is going to be running the country when you are retired? Who do you think is going to be deciding how much pension and health benefits to give pensioners? Wouldn't you rather they were educated people? You and I and anyone else with the...

Really? I thought the last two were the funniest in ages. "The user interface could only be worse if your monitor was at the bottom of a fucking well" is hilarious and the "Adrian" bit from the Braid review had me snorting into my monitor.

One bit of blood yes. When Obi-Wan slices off the whatsit's arm in the cantina bar. Christ I'm a nerd!

Fair point about Halo possibly not deserving the M rating. There's a world of difference between a 10 year old playing that and playing Gears of War for example. According to the ESRB its rated M for "Blood and Gore, Mild Language, Violence", though as Pedro said its all coloured Alien blood...

Came across an interesting dichotomy the other day on XBox live. There was a young girl, I'd guess about ten years old, playing Halo. Conversation came around to what part of the world we were all in and she refused to say because she wasn't allowed by her parents. When she said that I was...

I've often thought that a good way of mixing up Zelda would be if you lost a weapon in every dungeon instead of gaining one. Think about it - you start the game with bow, boomerang, bombs, hookshot etc. and in each dungeon you need to give up a weapon in order to gain hold of a...

This is hilarious, three factions of people arguing over whether game #4 is Spiderman 2, Silent Hill 4 or Resi Evil 4 just so they can prove they are Yahtzee fanboys and earn his disgust. =) The icing on the cake is you all calling each other idiots, which has brightened up an otherwise dull...
